  on Washington Post Observes Encryption War 2.0 For Several Months, Learns Absolutely Nothing
  What exactly are they even talking about encrypting? When I am using SSH all the data between my client and the server is encrypted. Are we talking about making that encryption stronger?
  
  Right now I could get PGP and hook it up to a email client and hook it up to a friend's client and share our public keys and we can send completely private emails. Are we talking about having that built into gmail?
  
  Is the idea that there be a law that you always have a backdoor to any encryption software implementation?
  
  It is like they are talking about some hypothetical universal encryption thing that doesn't even exist.

  on Would You Trust Any Organization That Doesn't Trust 4,000 Of Its Employees? What If It's The NSA?
  By keeping everything secret, the enemy doesn't know what the real secrets are. If we were to make less things secret the enemy would know exactly what secrets to go after. What the real secrets are needs to be kept secret.

  on Why NSA Boss Believes His Agency Is All Good: Intentions vs. Actions
  You must be joking. The first thing I thought when I saw him was Gollum. And NSA spying programs are his "precious".

  on People Who Got Shorter Sentences Than Bradley Manning: Spies Selling Secrets To Russians & Active Terrorists
  Ironically, Manning probably did do it in a large part "for the children". Whereas others just give lip service to the children to push their own agendas. Interesting how the idiom "give lip service to the children" sounds a lot like child abuse.

  This shows how much attention these bought and paid for representatives are paying in the hearing. Just read the talking points on the page. A monkey could do it.

  The problem with that petition is that for him to be pardoned he first has to be found guilty of doing something wrong. It should be something like:

  on Why Won't NSA Defenders Publish Their Phone Records?
  I sometimes get boxes of model airplane parts directly from China. This probably means I am on a watch list as a potential international terrrist. Ridiculous!
  
  On the other hand, it is a good idea to watch me if you actually are a corrupt govt. Because I only respect authority that respects my rights.

  There are two ways to interpret this. One is that you are a major sex pervert. :)

  Stewart Baker should be given a dictatorship on a small desolate island with a population of 1. There he can bask in wonderful laws he can keep secret to himself and there won't be any pesky civil liberties to get in the way of his safety.
